Grades

  • [30%] Weekly quizzes. There will be 8 weekly quizzes (almost every week). Quiz1 counts 2%. Later quizzes will count more, up to 5% per quiz. The condition for receiving a grade on the quizzes is that you complete and submit the Labs. Quizzes will be based on the Labs, lectures and required readings of the preceding weeks.
  • [15%] LabTest after reading week.
  • [15%] Project (working in a team of no more than two students)
  • [40%] Final exam

It is required that you attend and complete the work allocated in the weekly Lab session in preparation for the Quizzes, Labtest, Project and Exam. <hi> Labs must be completed by their due date in order for you to receive credit for the Quizzes</hi>

Exam details

You may bring 1 data sheet (US Letter size, written on both sides) of your own notes into the exam. Otherwise it is a closed book exam. You may use the Event-B notation summary which you may annotate.

The Exam will be on all the material noted in the course outline, material covered in the lectures, slides and required readings from the textbook, labs, quizzes, labtests and project. The exam is 3 hours.

Miscellaneous

You can view your marks here.

For each grading unit you are assigned a raw mark score that ranks you in the class. Also, you will be provided with a mapping from your raw mark score to a letter grade. The raw mark score is not a grade as it is merely used to rank you in the class (so, e.g. a raw mark score of 76 might be a C, not a B+, after the mapping is applied). The mapping will be supplied to you at the same time that your assignment is handed back to you. The final grade is computed from the raw mark scores and maps as shown here.

The meaning of the letter grades assigned by the mapping is givenhere.

You must complete and hand in the project to obtain a grade for the course.

Missing deadlines

  • If you miss the deadline for the Labs, or project then your grade will be an F.
  • If you miss a weekly Quiz or the Labtest, your grade will be an F – unless the official York attending physician's statement is filled out in detail and the physician certifies that you were unable to write due to illness at the time of the quiz. You must inform the instructor immediately you are able to, that you cannot write the Quiz or the Labtest, and you must present the Physician's statement to the instructor the day after the Quiz or Labtest. Alternative arrangements for the Quiz or Labtest grade will then be made.
  • The entire Labtest or Quiz may be regraded. Similar requirements apply to the exam. The instructor must be contacted with the relevant attending physician's statement directly after the exam.

Re-grading

If you have any issues with your grade, whether on your Labs, Quizzes, Labtest, etc, please print out your feedback, add your name and Prism login, write down clearly and precisely where and what your grading issues are, and hand the feedback to your instructor. This must be done within one week from the date the grades are announced. Your request must spell out the relevant part or section of the assignment what grade you did get, and what you feel your grade should be for that part.

If you want your Quiz, Lab, or Project regraded, then within one week of receiving the feedback do the following:

  • Write out precisely and concisely your concerns.
  • Staple your written concerns to your feedback document
  • Return the above to the instructor within one week of receiving your feedback.

Group work

At times (e.g. in the Project) you are allowed to work on your own or in a team of at most two. If you are working with a partner, be sure to create a shared storage area (e.g. a private GitHub repository) where you both have access to the design/code. You will want to ensure that you each understand the other's work. In case a partner withdraws from the course or does not contribute, you are still responsible to ensure that you submit the work for the complete project on your own (with an explanation of the context in which this happened).
